London, Jan. 12,18G4. W. GRAIN, Notary Public. T HIRTY-FIRST REPORT of the UNION BANK OF LONDON. At a Half-yearly Meeting of the Proprietors, held at the Court-room of the Banking House, 2, Princes-street, Man sion House, on Wednesday, the 13th of January, 1864, P. NORTHALL LAURIE, Esq., Governor, in the Chair, the following REPORT was read by the Secretary : The Directors have the pleasure to report that the net profits for the Six Months ending the 31st December last, after payment of all charges (including the sum of £112,487 Is. led. for interest paid and due to customers on their cur rent and deposit accounts), and making ample provision for all bad and doubtful debts, amount to £114,323 14s. Bd., which, with £668 12s. Bd. brought forward from 30th June last, make together £114,v92 7s. 4d. The Directors now declare a dividend of 13s. per share, clear of income tax, for the six months ending 31st Decem ber last, amounting to £51,000, and leavAng a balance of £69,992 7s. 4d. This state of the accounts induces the Directors to antici pate that which, in the ordinary course, they would have postponed until July next, in order that the proprietors may participate in the profits of the past six months at the earliest I ossible period ; they have, therefore, appropriated £60,000 of the profits of the past half year to the Reserved Fund ; and out of such Reserved Fund, thus increased to £170,000, they have appropriated £6 9 ,000 in adding £1 per share to the paid-up capital of the Company, which will thus be increased from £720,000 to £780,000. After deducting the sums applied in payment of the divi dend, and iu addition to the Re erved Fund, amounting to gether to £114,00 there will remain a balance of £992 7s. 4d. for appropriation in July next.

The second sitting of this conference was held yesterday at King's College, and was attended by a large number of Volunteers. Lieutenant-Colonel Warde, of the London Rifle Brigade, presided. The first paper was read by Lieutenant Scott, who con demned the present system of angular targets and square centres, and recommended a reduction in the number of ranges, with some modifications on the present plan of scoring. Captain Macgregor next read a paper advocating the adoption of targets made of pasteboard, iron targets being, in his opinion, comparatively dangerous and expensive. Canvas as a material for targets was objectionable as apt to get loose and warped in the frames. A pasteboard target had been in use at the range of the Scottish Rifles, and had been found to answer well. The target was suspended from a beam, and could be drawn into the mantlet by the marker without exposing himself to any danger from chance shots. Captain Macgregor also propounded a plan whereby several targets could be used at one time without confusing the competitors at each by adopt ing a series of intervening small screens between the targets and the shooters. Mr. Hemming proposed that in competing scores the least average deviation should be made the test of success. He also suggested that the size of tar gets should be increased, and that a number— say six—of concentric rings should be marked. Captain Fyfe, of the Berkshire Volunteers, exhibited a model of a truck upon which targets could be easily lowered without the dangers now attendant upon the removal of such cumbersome erections. Captain Bland proposed an iron target with con centric rings, the rims of each ring to be slightly raised above the surface to prevent splashing of the bullets, and also exhibited a design for raising targets upon iron brackets. The Comte de Gendre exhibited a model of an apparatus whereby the offi cer in command of a shooting squad rang an electric bell in the mantlet to call the attention of the mar ker to an impending shat. Lieut. Goodliffe, on behalf of an absent member, read a paper recom mending a new demarcation of the square target, and dividing it into nine squares, whereby the ele vation and direction of each shot would be more marked. Dr. Stevens, of the St. George's Volun teers, exhibited a medical case in use in that corps, containing all the appliances that would be neces sary in case of accidents upon the shooting ground. Mr, Hart explained his automaton semaphore target by means of which every shot telegraphed its own position upon the target. In the general discussion which followed, pasteboard, as a material for tar gets, was spoken of with much favour, although objections were made that such targets afford no check upon careless markers, as giving out no sound when struck, and the bullet marks not being visible at long ranges. Capt. Macgregor, however, stated that a ball striking those targets did give out a sound. The cost of the targets would be in a great measure repaid by the lead of the bullets, which could be received in a box placed behind the targets. The best system of marking was a subject upon which a difference of opinion prevailed, but it was agreed that it was desirable that a corps of pro fessed markers ought to be organised, Circular targets were also unanimously preferred to square targets. The propriety of scoring ricochets was much discussed, but the balance of opinion appeared to be adverse to any alteration of the present system in that respect. It was also announced that a museum would be shortly opened for the reception of models and objects connected with rifle shooting. At 6 o'clock the sitting was suspended, and the con ference will hold its final sitting this day. PER PAIR.

The Drat gives the following details concerning the four persons engaged in this affair : " From information received, and from the docu ments which have been seized, it appears that Maz zini has been the organiser and director of the plot, and that he was to pay the expenses of it. It is he who at Lugano paid the men to assassinate the Em peror. Greco seems to have been chosen by Mazzini to be the chief of the undertaking, and Imperatori and Saglio were adjoined to him. Trabucco, who has been condemned at Paris and at London as a thief and a swindler, solicited by a letter to Mazzini the honour of becoming one of Greco's lieutenants. The request appears to have been favourably re ceived, since the letter from him, addressed to Maz zini, was found at Greco's lodgings. The four left Lugano, bringing with them about 4,000 f., handed by Mazzini to Greco ; also poignards, revolvers, percussion caps, and explosive bombs of the kind used by Orsini. They are about the size of a man's hand, and have 12 fuse-holes, intended to receive as many caps. Eight of these bombs were found at the time of the seizure. After passing through Switzerland and France the four arrived in Paris on the 25th of December. They thought it best to separate, reside in different hotels, and frequently change their lodgings. Several days were passed by them in ascertaining the places to which the Emperor was likely to go, and the hoar at which he would leave the palace. They consequently repaired to the Tuileries, to the Champs-Elysees, and to the Bois de Boulogne, but fortunately their movements attracted attention, and allowed the police to arrest them be fore the execution of their odious project. The arms found in their possession, the bombs, the destina tion of which was but too certain, the letters, and in particular a writing concealed in the lining of Greco's trousers—a writing which appeared to emanate from the hand of Mazzini—rendered any denial on the part of the prisoners impossible, and all of them have it is said made avowals. Accord ing to the explanations which they have given each man was to carry a poignard, a revolver, and two bombs. The eight bombs were to be thrown into or under the Emperor's carriage. If his Majesty should not have been injured by projectiles the four Italians were to take advantage] of the confusion, rush forward, and Use their revolvers and poignards. The examination of these daggers showed that the blades bore the trace of a very subtle poison. These persons had expended all the money they had brought with them from Lugano, and letters sent by them to Mazzini not having been followed by the remittance of the sums demanded, the men tinn of their projeet became imminent. What leaves no doubt on this subject is the preparation of the bombs, which were found ready charged for use, and were to be employed the following day."_ The Gazette des Tribuneaux furnishes the follow ing further details, which differ in some particulars from what has just been given : " Immediately after, the arrest it was easy to see that Greco, from his demeanour, his violence, and the command he appeared to exercise over his com panions, was their chief. At the moment when he was laid hold of by the police agents he attempted to use force in order to escape, and when he saw the impossibility of effecting his purpose he broke out into imprecations and insults, and soon after avowed what his project was, by whom it had been formed, and how it was to have been accomplished. In September or October Greco and his three accom plices were sent for to Lugano by Mazzini, with ' whom they had been for some time in correspon dence. At the meeting which took place it was decided that the four should proceed to Paris, and make an attempt on the life of the Emperor. 'Mazzini at the same time gave them several bombs which he had brought with him from England, four revolvers, and four poignards. At the moment of their departure Mazzini gave Grcco a sum of money, and told him that he (Mazzini) should go to Lon don, and there await the result of the undertaking, and gave him an address to which a letter was to be sent when they required more money. That address in Mazzini's handwriting, was seized, with other papers of Grego. Mazzini at the same time deli vered to Greco a cipher of correspondence with the symbolical phrases which were to . be sent to him PRICE .4d. STAMPED ....sd. the day before the attempt was to be made. Mazzini also gave him two of his photographs, on which he wrote with his own hand the names of Greco and of Imperatori. The instructions given by Mazzini and the two photographs aro among the articles seized. It appears that there was also found in Greco's pocketbook a letter addressed by Imperatori to Mazzini, in which the former said that, having been informed that a plot was being prepared against the Emperor's life, ho begged to be one of the persons concerned. Greco is said to have admitted that this letter was given to him by Mazzini at Lugano. It was on the 25th of December that the four Italians arrived in Paris from Switzer land. Each of them had two uncharged bombs con cealed under his clothes. They declare that they have several times changed their place of residence, in order to avoid the suspicion of the police. They lodged two together in different hotels, bat met during the day in order to concert their plans. Green has not, it is said, hesitated to relate the par ticulars of his proceedings day by day, as well as those of his accomplices. They had carefully studied the approaches to the Opera and to the other theatres, those of the Tuileries, and several points in the Bois de Boulogne. The conspirators, who had been in constant correspondence with Mazzini, now in London, had resolved to carry their project into execution in the early part of the week, and it was on the day prior to their arrest that the bombs were charged. Their money was all expended in much extravagance, as at one dinner the four spent up wards of 200 f. They did not wish to expose them selves to the risk of being without resources, in case of being obliged after the crime to fly from Paris, and they therefore wrote to Mazzini at the ad dress he had given them. They had not received any answer to their letter at the time of their arrest. The truth of the declarations made is proved by another circumstance: A letter was seized at the post office addressed to Greco, written by Mazzini, and enclosing 500 f. Greco declares that it was that money which they waited for, and that if it had arrived sooner they should have accomplished their project. Saglio, who is only 22 years of age, is the only one of the prisoners who appears to show any repentance." A Paris correspondent of the Emancipation of Brussels relates in the following terms the manner in which the conspirators were arrested : "On first arriving in Paris, they stopped at the Hotel de Lyon et d'Athenes, 185, Rue St. Honore, but in a few days they separated, and Trabuccu and Imperatori took a furnished room at 4, Rue Croix des Petits Champs. They were there left compara tively free, in order that their accomplices might be caught with them, but all their movements were carefully watched. At length, on Sunday, the 3d of January, M. Lagrange, police officer, was charged to arrest them, and he went to the house in the Rue Croix des Petit-Champs, accompanied by some agents. He was aware that the two men were in their room, but, knowing that they were well armed, he thought it advisable to wait until they came out, in order to avoid bloodshed. At about 4 o'clock Trabucco left the house, and was immediately secured, and at the same moment some of the agents went up to the room to arrest Imperatori. Another party of police at about the same time captured Greco and the other conspirators at 185, Rue St. Honore, as already stated." Lord Russell and the Frankfort Diet, BERLIN, Jan. 10. The following is a translation of Earl Russell's despatch to the Federal Diet of the 31st December, published in the German papers:— "roreign-office, London, Dec. 31. "The events which have taken place since the death of King Frederick VII. have produced a lively impression upon the G3vernment of the Queen. "At firft, appearances wore a favourable aspect. The successor of Frederick VII. had been recognised in both Schleswig and Holstein, as well as in Den mark proper. A few professors and judges declined to take the oath of allegiance; but, on the whole, tranquillity and obedience were generally observed. "Recognition by France, Great Britain, Russia, and Sweden followed this internal assent. "In Germany a very different spirit reigned. Some of the States and their rulers who had acceded to the Treaty of London of 1852 have been the first to uphold the pretensions of the Duke of Augusten burg. " Austria and Prussia have adopted a more mode rate course, for they have not altogether rejected the title of Christian IX. to the throne. They made the recognition of his right dependent on the accomplishment of the engagements entered into by his predecessor in 1851 and 1852. "'the Government of the Queen cannot admit either of these views. It cannot recognise any claims of the Duke of Augustenburg which may be at variance with the obligations entered into by her Majesty in consequence of the Treaty of London of 1852. The Government of the Queen considers that Denmark should remain faithful td engage. ments already contracted, but cannot admit that the right of Christian IX. to the crown is at all depsndent on the fulfilment of those engagements. " Whilst, therefore, her Majesty's Government most readily recognised the succession of Chris tian IX., it insisted, in conjunction with France and Russia, on the fulfilment of all the obligations of his crown in connection with Germany. Nor can her Majesty's Government doubt the inclination of the King to fulfil these obligations. By birth a German prince, there can be no question of his de sire to treat his German and Danish subjects with equal favour. Whatever ground of complaint the partisanship of the Danish officials of the late King may have afforded, it is thought that these causes of dissatisfaction will in all probability be set aside in consequence of the equal treatment and impartial proceedings of the new Sovereign. "Unfortunately, two hindrances oppose the ac complishment of the views of the friends of peace. The first is the constitution of Denmark-Schleswig, accepted last November by the Rigsraad at Copen hagen. The second is the attitude of Germany. The new constitution of Denmark seems to her Majesty's Government to tend to an incorporation of Schleswig, and as such to be opposed to the obli gations of the Danish Crown. In fact, the defence of the Danish Minister on this point is far from satisfactory. But the obeervatious of M. Hall in reference to the other point, viz., to the present attitude of Germany, are very important. " His arguments may be stated nearly as follows : —Denmark has withdrawn the Royal Patent of last March for Holstein. She has peacefully sub mitted to Federal execution, although she did not believe it based on Federal right. The retractation of the constitution recently introduced for Denmark and Schleswig is now demanded. But what secu rity is offered to her that this will be the last con cession that will be demanded ? A constitution for Schleswig and a common constitution for the monarchy are already put forward as the reasons out of which new claims and further demands are to be deducted in future. Whein, lastly, may Denmark hope for a stop to these incessant require ments P If her independence is to be preserved, it would be better that she should now offer resistance than allow herself to be weakened by continual but useless concessions. "Although iu the opinion of her Majesty's Go• vernment M. Hall takes up an erroneous position, it yet finds much general truth in the arguments he puts forth. Denmark has a right to know the limits of the claims of Germany, and to be placcd in a position to bring this Jong and fatiguing dis pute to a conclusion. Even although Denmark may have withdrawn from her obligations for 11 years, and even although Germany may have annoyed Denmark with unfounded and impossible claims for that period, it is now time that an end be put to the conflict. The Powers who signed the Treaty sig y iondon, in conjunction with a representative of the German Confederation, shall meet in Paris or London to settle the difft.rences between Germany and Denmark. " 2. That the status quo shall be maintained until .his Conference shall have finished its labours. " Her Majesty's Government believes itself jus tifled in making these demands for the sake of the peace of Europe. It has no other interest in respect to Denmark than that which belongs to one of the old and independent monarchies of Europe. But it hes an interest in the maintenance of European peace. It calls, therefore, is the most pressing manner upon the Sovereigns end their Cabinets to take into ecnsideratien how d;fiicult it would b. 3 to settle the differences if they had once been subjected to the bloody arbitrament of war. Who can fore see what extent such a war might acquire, what passions it might arouse, what diotricts might he desolated by its ravages? "It is of itself a matter of comparatively slight importance whether a prince of the House of Glucks burg or a prince of the House of Auguetenburg rules in Holstein or in Schleswig. The freedom and privileges of the subject can be equally secured under either of the two princes. But it is of great importance that the faith of treaties should be up. held, that right and possession should be respected, and that the flames of war should not be spread over Europe through questions which quiet and timely exercise of justice and reason might conduct to a peaceful solution. " Yon are rt quested to leave a copy of this de spatch with the President of the Federal Diet.-1 am, &c., " RUSSELL." Ironmasters' Quarterly Meeting, WOLVERHAMPTON, Wednesday Morning. The Quarterly Meetings of the ironmasters of this district for the current ;quarter commenced in this town this afternoon; the attendance was good, but the amount of business transacted was moderate, partly from a disposition to postpone entering into any engagements until the Birming ham meeting, but more, perhaps, from the fact of there having been a larger quantity of iron sold prior to this quarter-day than has been the case for !several years. This will account for the indisposition manifested by the iron masters as to the obtaining further orders; indeed, some of them have sold almost as much as they can produce during the quarter, making allowance for such casual orders as may here after come in from regular customers, which must be executed. In these circumstances, notwithstand ing the quietude which prevailed to-day, the trade is in a healthy state, if measured by the test of their being well supplied with orders at all the principal works, and the second class firms are very well placed in that respect. The demand for America is well sustained; advices recently received speak of the prospect of a continuance of this for some time, as the markets are bare of stocks of finished iron, and some descriptions are much in request. There is also a confident anticipation that the orders for iron for other parts of the world will increase as the time for shipping comes on. The demand for manu factured iron by home consumers will, also, neces sarily be large, so that with such orders as are in hand, and so much in expectation, no doubt what ever exists as to the present prices being upheld through the quarter. Some transactions in pig iron were reported to-day; all mine is quoted at prices varying from £4 103. to £4 12s. 7d.; and some makes as high as £4 15s. per ton ; oold_blast, £5 10s. to £5 12s. 6d. per ton. The Shropshire ironmasters present to-day re ported that the trade in that quarter is brisk. Coal is scarce, and the price is to be again advanced. With regard to that commodity in this locality it is dozhtful if the scarcity of it has at any time been so much felt in the South Staffordshire and East Worcestershire distract. Old pits have been re opened, and are bein g - worked ; and the pillars what is called "scraped," but the supply raised is not nearly equal to the demand. The quantity might be much increased if the colliers would work more, but their habits are such that it is not likely to be the case so long as the wages scale remains as high as it now is; the thick-coal men are earning 10e.,a day, with au allowance of a ton of coal a month, with "refreshment," yet the mass of them have not a sixpence beforehand, and are consequently unpre pared for that reverse which in the iron and coal trades has always been of regular recurrence. The meeting to-day passed off in a cheerful spirit. On the floor of the Exchange there was a good sprinkling of those persons who failed, under most discreditable circumstances, in 1857 and 1858—men who, never having had anything to lose of their own, brought ruin on many who had. These per sons reappear now that the trade is again buoyant, and are bustling, apparently striving, and seeking to place themselves on a level with the honest trader who has received a few pence in the pound out of their estates. They are ready again to contract heavy engagements, or to enter upon large works. It is to be hoped that the lesson which men of this class taught in the past will not be forgotten, but that those who have capital in the trade will be careful whom they trust. The "bad times," as they are called, will come round in due course, and it would be sad indeed if in the South Staffordshire iron trade there occurred failures of the magnitude of those which took place only six years ago. Confederate Enlistment in Liverpool. The Liverpool magistrates, we are informed, have issued summonses against three persons in this town on the charge of making enlistments for the naval service of the Confederate States, contrary to e f tbileeenForeigia e nlistment Act. The granted on the information Grandy Bateson, l oca l agent o f th e s t o the e mm p o Ir r .0 0 o W i ll i amv s i s o i s o n h s sv o solicitors to the Treasury in London, and are re turnable at noon on Friday neat before the borough justices. Two of the defendants are gentlemen who carry on business as ship-store dealers and chan dlers, and the third i s a clerk in t heir employment. The information we believe charge the defendants in various forms with violation of the s t a t u t e o f will not at pre n: 52th of George 111., cap. 9 probably lead to interesting revelation s as t o th e means by which the diff erent Confe derate cruisers on We sent subject, lest they sheey publish obtained a their n ym sta to crews; e but statements s t I should prejupice the administration o f j ust i ce. We will therefore merely add that the three defendants are charged with having, i n March, 1863, in Liver pool and elsewhere, endeavoured to procure John Stanley, Francis Glassbrook (er Francis Rivers, and Benjamin Conolly, or sae or more of them, to be engaged in the sea servica of the so-called Con federate States of America, ,:ontrary to the prohibi tion contained in the statute 69th George 111., cap. 69. In another form the defendants are charged with having endeavoured to procure the above men to go and embark from Liverpool for the purpose of being engaged or employed us aforesaid, con trary to the statute. A third informati on alleges that one of the defendants aid in April, 1863, on board the British ship Japai3 endeavour to procure Jon Stanley, Francis Glassbrook (or Rivers), and Benjamin Conolly, or one or more of them, to be engaged as aforesaid; and a fourth that the parties summoned had conspired to procure the men men tioned fore the aforesaid service. The whole case will be heard at the public court on Friday next, and it is scarcely necessary to add that much public interest will attach to the investigation.—Liverpool Cornier. Murder and Robbery at an American Bank. On the morning of the 15th ult., at 20 minutes before 12 o'clock, Frank Converse, the son of the President of the Malden Bank, was found within that bank, just at the point or death, having been shot through the head. Every morning either Frank or Mr. Merrill, the cashier, had been accustomed to come into Boston for the purpose of making up the balance between that bank and the Boston batiks, and for this reason there is usually but one person in the bank from 9 o'clock until 12. Yesterday morning Frank was left in charge of the bank. At 25 minutes past 11 Mr. Bally, stove and tinware dealer in the Tillage, went to the bank and received cash for a cheque. About 15 minutes after—not later than 20 minutes to 12—Robert Merrill, the little son of the cashier, rushed into the grocery store of Mr. Charles Shepard, near the bank, and called for some one to go into the bank, saying that Frank .‘ has got a fit, and there's a horrid great hole in the side of his head." Mr. Shepard at once went into the bank, and saw Frank lying on his back behind the counter. Medical aid was sent for, but he was insensible and died in 20 minutes. All the money in the money drawer had been taken out but a few cents. The sum was probably about 6,000 dole. Of this, 3,000 dole. were in 100 dol, bills on the Malden Bank, and the remainder in small bills, mostly on the same bank. The murderer has gained little by his crime. The 100 dol. bills it will be impossible for him to pass. The boldness and audacity of the crime seem to indicate that it was the work of one dcep in guilt, and many circumstances support that idea. It was at first supposed that the murderer had committed the deed while standing in front of the counter, but that view was found to be falla cious. The counter extended across the room, with wire gauze above, such as is frequently seen in banks, and over which it would be difficult for a man to reach, At one end of the counter is a gate through which entrance is had to the space behind, and no doubt the assassin came through this gate behind the counter before he fired the fatal shot. The bail entered under the right ear and came out near the left temple, and the pistol wns so close that the flesh near where the ball entered was burnt by the powder. When found by Mr. Sheila }d, the deceased was lying on the floor just behind t teller's desk, which was at the middle of the couhn er, as though he had been standing there whenfa was shot. There was nothing to snow any, Feti first fell. Two detectives from Bo . sto , n , have i a h i rp r already visited that the deceased was not then lying, visited the scene, and are busy . f k woe , r e e ad e red a een now be secured. The bank . has . re ward of 5,000 dole for the detection of the murderer, o(i the case; but it seems very doubtful w th o e assassin and the town will offer a further amount of -,0, or 3,000 doll.--.
